Jeff Crowder

I'm a 57 year old grandfather and independent artist from Kansas City and later moved to the Ozark Mountains in Missouri. The beautiful rolling hills and crystal clear water inspire me to deliver a quality escape for my readers from the highs and lows of the confounded predicaments and absurd situations we find ourselves in as we're living the American dream, which can turn into a nightmare in the blink of an eye. I found out the hard way when I broke my back in the oil fields leaving me disabled. My life changed in the blink of an eye. I read every book I could get my hands on for five years after my injury before I decided to start writing. I attempt to weave three different stories into my novels, the one you're reading, the one between the lines, and the one that pops into your head at the end. I give my readers a wild adventure as I show off my skills in relaying my unique perspectives and support American craftsmanship as I take you from the depths of insanity to the heights of success. I also try to give hope for the bright future America is destined to have. Thanks to all my readers who appreciate my dedication to the art of writing. The drawings are characters from my Ricky Road books; Tommy, Ricky, Ricky's parents, Sparkles, Colonel Buzzard, Snake, Animal, Delbert, Gertrude, and Clara Bell.
